Course Content: The course will cover most of Chapters 1-7 and part of Chapter 8, including the following topics:

Axioms of Probability

Grading: Your grade for the course will be calculated based on three exams (100 points each),
graded homeworks (100 points total) and a cumulative final exam (200 points).
The sum of these grades divided by 6 determines your grade according to the scale:

A: 90-100 B:80-89 C:70-79 D:65-70 F: below 65

+ or - will be attached ( if applicable) to the grades that occur in the lower or upper 2
points of each category.

Homework: Homework problems will be assigned at the end of each class and
reviewed at the beginning of the next class meeting. Not all homeworks will be collected. I will announce which assignments
are to be submitted for grading and distribute the assignment on paper in class. All homework assignments will be posted on Blackboard after each class:

Test Dates:

Test 1 : Tuesday, February 18

Test 2 : Tuesday, March 25

Test 3 : Tuesday, April 22

Final Exam : Wednesday, May 14 9:45-11:45 *NEW DATE AND TIME*

Honor Code: Sharing information of any kind about exams will result in a
grade of zero for all parties involved. Although you may discuss the homework problems with other students in the class,
each student is to write his or her own solutions.
